It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. My counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. The foundation of my practice is layered. In order to effectively work together, I believe that it is important to understand your past, as it informs your present. Much of our resilience stems from our interactions with attachment figures—It is necessary to consider the context of our life.

My early training as a psychologist involved the use of a developmental, humanistic/existential, client centered approach, but over time I have incorporated many other techniques, most notably
Mindfulness
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt therapy.
My clientele consists of children, adolescents, and adults. I use a variety of approaches in working with my clients in an attempt to find the most efficacious approach to meet the particular client's needs. As a psychologist, I also perform psychological evaluations for diagnostic purposes. For example, I evaluate cognitive ability, learning disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and many other issues. Finding oneself can be a daunting task in our complex society. I aspire to help my clients achieve self understanding, a sense of efficacy, and develop tools to assist them in navigating life's challenges on their own.

**I am not currently accepting new clients** I believe as human beings we are wired to heal. As a therapist, my goal is to aid my clients' self-healing process. The decision to begin Psychotherapy can be anxiety producing in and of itself. I aim to create a supportive therapeutic environment in which I actively address my clients' needs.

Kaitlyn King
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, TMFT, ATR-P
Verified
I take a person-centered & strengths-based approach, integrating art therapy,
mindfulness
, narrative therapy, IFS, and EMDR.
We all experience some combination of painful experiences and traumas just by making our way through life, and these experiences can lead you to construct a story of yourself that is anything but empowering. My goal is to mirror your strengths and your worth back to you— to remind you of the truth, despite what your parents, partners, friends, church, and society have told you. Through a creative, holistic blend of art and talk therapy, I support my clients (individuals, families and couples) to integrate mind, body and spirit in service of deeper healing, connection, and personal + collective growth.
Eleanor (Elly) Willis Haddad
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPC, Intern
Verified
My trauma informed approach is holistic, influenced by my background in teaching yoga and guided meditation, I combine narrative, somatic, and
mindfulness
therapeutic modalities with more traditional methods to help clients unpack their baggage one complex layer at a time and create space for curiosity and clarity to come alongside the pain and fear.
I am passionate about working with people who are experiencing the impact of sudden & traumatic loss, suicide loss, sexuality/identity issues, religious trauma, after-effects of the purity culture, childhood trauma, and more. Often, another stressor such as a job change, birth of a child, death of a loved one, break up with your s/o, or caring for an ill or elderly loved one is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back, unleashing years of pent up pain leaving you wondering "How in the heck did I end up here?" as your once tightly-controlled world seems to be crashing down around you. As a survivor myself, I can relate.
Christi Sidwell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
Through my experience and training, I approach healing from a holistic perspective and I utilize a variety of interventions including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, trauma sensitive yoga, CRM, IFS, and
mindfulness
.
I believe that we all deserve support and at the core of personal transformation is a duality of self-compassion and desire for change. As humans we are intrinsically wired for connection, resiliency and healing. However, sometimes there are things from the past or other life stressors that cause us to feel stuck and that healing is out of our reach. I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection and believe reconnecting to our bodies can be incredibly transformational. I work with folks in adolescence and adulthood who are desiring to address trauma, optimal performance, depression, anxiety and life transitions.
Holly Cook
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MHSP
Verified
I incorporate experiential, cognitive behavioral, DBT,
mindfulness
& expressive therapies.
At the core of everything I do in therapy is the belief that true healing happens through empowerment and love, not fear. Therapy encompasses a bit of art, science, intuition, and loving kindness. What works in therapy is a real person connecting to a real person and I believe the best therapists are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see. My approach is based on a model of healing and empowerment to help you reconnect with that whole, thoughtful, creative, fearless human being you are and to trust your inner wisdom.

Most people who struggle with hair-pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation disorder) suffer in silence and shame. Yet body-focused repetitive disorders (BRFRs) are highly treatable!

Mindfulness

Whether you’ve identified an area of life you’re ready to transform or you’re just curious about ways to feel your best, counseling can help. I assist clients as they develop insight about their personal narratives and bring their lives into alignment with their values and aspirations. It’s easy to internalize beliefs that are not our own, and I help clients discover their true voices and let go of old ideas and behavior patterns. I also offer strength-based coaching for individuals without current psychotherapy needs who are interested in immediate, actionable solutions for personal and professional goals.

During this process you will begin to see that you're not alone and feelings of emptiness & isolation will diminish over time.
